The Fifth Plague: Egyptian Livestock Die

9:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord , the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them,

3 behold, the hand of the Lord will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.

4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die. ’”

5 And the Lord set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”

6 And the next day the Lord did this thing. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one of the livestock of the people of Israel died.
